“Carnivorous” women, the female counterpart to “herbivorous men,” are seen by many to be eschewing traditional femininity just as effete men are confounding traditional masculinity, but just what is a carnivorous woman? A survey of Japanese men and women provides some answers as to how they perceive them.
The ranking, based on a survey of 1,156 people (63.8% of which were women), can be seen below, with participants asked what traits they associated with the image of a “carnivorous woman”:
1. She actively touches men’s bodies
2. She approaches men on her own
3. She doesn’t refuse invitations to come drinking
4. She has plenty of male friends
5. She’ll actively approach a man even if he is with his girlfriend
6. She wears thick eye makeup
7. She likes brand bags
8. She has a broad circle of friends
9. She gets every man’s number when on a group date (goukon)
10. She is honest in her mails
The survey was too circumspect to include traits such as “she has sex with a lot of men,” otherwise this might very well be number one, although having “lots of male friends” comes close…
Just what is thought to constitute a herbivorous man can be read about in the previous article on the subject.

Oh, I thought this was about feeding habits. If she is carnivorous, then the traits are 1. scurvy, 2. arthritis, 3. coronary heart disease, 4. increased risk of cancer.
Works for arctic natives so far ...
Carnivorous Women must be killed with
Fire !
> forever alone...
This is a perfect description of my friend.
How can a carnivorous female be a female counterpart to the herbivorous of men? They'll devour them alive! speaking of which, i have most of the qualities there, so *RAWR*? XD
I don't think number 6 and number are true
> 1. She actively touches men’s bodies
... I may not mind this, if that man is me.
> 2. She approaches men on her own
Seriously, how else am I supposed to know if she is interested? I'm not wasting my time on chicks that are "taken".
> 3. She doesn’t refuse invitations to come drinking
Drinking can be fun. Sure.
> 4. She has plenty of male friends
is this a problem?
> 5. She’ll actively approach a man even if he is with his girlfriend
Now that's not nice....
> 6. She wears thick eye makeup
Eww.
> 7. She likes brand bags
Lame
> 8. She has a broad circle of friends
Um, Ok. Who doesn't?
> 9. She gets every man’s number when on a group date (goukon)
Group date? Why would I waste my time with that?
> 10. She is honest in her mails
+100pts on this one, honesty is win
I know a girl with all of that descrptions
Japan sure is going about this in a roundabout in exploiting the traits of a 'SLUT'.
10? What that even means? How being honest is bad? Did honest became a pejorative term in Japan?
Japanese Society is full of 'polite lie' bullshit. I guess being honest is the same as rude. Then again, in the USA there is the same bullshit done.
Just when you thought you were safe from the top tens.
Apart from 5 I don't see what the fuss is all about.
with the exception of a few points, this list basically describes a whore/bitch. not that I have a problem with that however.
Or an adult women with a life. Idk about getting every guy's number and thick makeup but other than that, where is the white indication.
*whore indication
1, 2, 5 = maneater...lol...
...Shit, I should watch out for my childhood friend.
Ahhhh, my type of woman, independent and an animal in the sack, and won't say no to 3somes :D
The problem would be that she might say no to a threesome with you, cuz she has "plenty" of men.
I'd have to say I'm a lot of those things pretty much all if them so I'm a “Carnivorous” women and proud!
I can't say I'm No.7 being that I don't know what that is..What are brand bags?
she-bros, the ultimate woman.
I wouldnt mind this type of woman at all!!
I can accept everything on that list except for the eye makeup.
where is this picture from???
So~ that's why I always get invited by my girl friends (just plain friend) to drink with them!
sucks doesn't it?
i'd rather spend my time in my room and
play computer for 8 hrs.! d(>_<)b
these traits sound like the description of a stereotyped bimbo
8 got me laughing
"broad" circle of friends XD
In short, be like Tendou from kamen rider kabuto
she'll cause trouble and be labeled a slut behind her back and associating yourself with such a women will jeopardize your relationship with your girlfriend/wife
This list sums what a bitch is...
SO A WHORE
If only every woman were Carnivorous, the world would be a perfect place.
Equality Now's women are carnivorous, are you sure?
they are Carnivorous as T-Rex ?
or less than T-Rex ?
this could be a difficult question !
Feminists aren't carnivorous in the sense of what this list is talking about. In fact, they're opposite of the carnivorous women in this list since they insist men do all the work.
Again, like Aliens, they want to have a horde of drones whose only purpose is to sustain them and go kamikaze if needed... stupid AvP2 game, it brings me back memories.
Read the list again. Are you sure?
"a parasitic organism that reproduces by destroying others but still behaving like animals"
Oh fuck... Agnes Chan is JENOVA.
Stupid metaphor of mine now I think Agnes-chan is the Alien Queen... XD
Well, they certainly fit the term 'carnivorous', just not the items in the list (then again, that list is kind of flawed).
Well, they are old and unsuccessful, but I am pretty sure they are not only carnivorous but completely fearsome for all men.
They are the "Xenomorphs" metaphorically, a parasitic organism that reproduces by destroying others but still behaving like animals.
# 4 is my signal to not bother trying anything with a woman, most of the time in my country that's a trait of a slutty cheater.
#5 is, well, if I had a girlfriend I would careless about that carnivorous woman.
#6 is just so "artificial", what happened to "the less the best" on makeup?
#7 sounds like a stereotype, although not surprising for a Japanese gold digger.
#9 is twice as bad as #4.
#10 surprisingly is the best, but I would like her to not limit on mails, but phone and most importantly, honest in person.
I hate when Firefox just forgets I am logged in, for the record, that post is mine...
I agree with your post.
We have a saying that middle age women are like wolves and tigers.
yeah !
ThunderCats !
nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom

In North America, we call the ones who hit on younger men "cougars."
Cougars are carnivorous.
Cows are herbivorous.
I hate the sankaku tops
cry me a river .
